Intesa Sanpaolo: over 155,000 pupils and teachers visit the Museum of Saving

Innovation in teaching

A distinctive feature of the Museum is its innovative approach to teaching: the educational programme is based on edutainment, interactivity, digital tools and active participation. Through games, simulations and collaborative activities, pupils develop economic and financial skills in a practical and engaging way. The interdisciplinary approach links financial education to other subjects in the curriculum and to the key challenges of the modern world, incorporating themes such as environmental and social sustainability, digital transformation, online safety, artificial intelligence and the development of human capital.

The quality and scientific rigour of the educational programme were recognised in 2025 by the National Committee for Financial Education through the award of the “Quality Seals”, which certify the absence of commercial aims and compliance with high standards in the delivery of financial education programmes.

Recent initiatives

Among the main new initiatives for the 2025–2026 academic year are the ‘Edufin & Literature’ programme, which brings the classics into dialogue with economics, and the webinars on the synergies between sport and money to mark the Milan–Cortina 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Games. In addition, the Edu Fin&Fun programmes for primary and lower secondary schools have been expanded and consolidated, as has the ‘A Window on the World’ series for upper secondary schools, which is dedicated to exploring current economic issues in greater depth.

At the same time, teacher training continued through specialist webinars and the free ‘Fai Meta’ course, with the aim of promoting the integration of financial education into teaching.

The Museum has also strengthened its network of partnerships with institutions, public bodies and third-sector organisations, and signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Piedmont Regional Education Office, the Piedmont Region and local organisations active in promoting financial education in schools. From 2025, a new system for monitoring satisfaction with initiatives aimed at schools has been introduced, designed as a tool for gathering feedback and ensuring continuous improvement, with the aim of making the educational programme increasingly aligned with the interests, expectations and needs of teachers. In over 90 per cent of cases, teachers expressed a willingness to enrol their class again in future editions of the initiatives they had already taken part in, confirming the high level of appreciation for the initiatives on offer.

The next stages

Looking to the future, the Museo del Risparmio will continue to invest in expanding and tailoring its educational programmes, enhancing the teaching resources available to support teachers, and extending its activities to areas characterised by greater educational and social vulnerability. Particular attention will be paid to strengthening the international dimension, with the aim of reaching a growing number of students and contributing to the spread of an increasingly inclusive economic and financial culture, both in Italia and abroad.
